Goals from Karim Benzema and Jese Rodriguez led Real Madrid to a 2-0 win over Osasuna in their King's Cup last-16 first leg at the Bernabeu on Thursday.
Benzema nodded the hosts ahead in the 19th minute from a Luka Modric free kick and Cristiano Ronaldo set up Jese, who later went off injured, to score on the hour to put last year's runners-up in a strong position ahead of next week's return fixture in Pamplona. In the other games, Alcorcon beat top-division side Espanyol 1-0 while Rayo drew 0-0 against Levante.
